The renderer for KFX was added to Kindle for PC in version 1.19 so 1.17 is safe from KFX.

The actual purpose of renderer_test is to check if the PC's graphics are capable of supporting KFX. One possibility for it being present in 1.17 is that Amazon was doing some testing in advance of the deployment of KFX to determine the graphics capabilities of user's PCs.
